BOSTON (NC) - A 20-page study of Massachusetts' 2,427 Christian churches-the nation's first attempt to pinpoint the economic impact of "The Church as Consumer"-indicates· that the state's churches spend more than $26.6 million annually on goods and services. Organized by Project Equality, a nationwide ecumenical organization aimed at marshaling the economic power of religious in-. stitutions to promote fair employment practices by church suppliers, the survey was limited to Catholic, Protestant, Unitarian . and Quaker houses of worship. The Diocese of Fall River is a partner in Project Equality. Inclusion of Jewish synagogues, Project Equality spokesmen said, would add another $1.5 to $2 million to the total. The study noted that houses of worship represent only a small fraction of religious spending for goods and services. Vast additional sums are spent by schools, hospitals, convents and other institutions. According to survey author Don Rose, total religious expenditures for goods and services in the state could exceed $500 million. The survey indicates that Catholic and Protestant spending is almost evenly divided, with Catholics spending $14,083.500, or 52.92 per cent of the total. Yet because 83.6 per cent of the state's churchgoers are Catholic, the Protestant per capita outlay

is more than four times the size of the Catholics' per capita' spending. The typical Catholic church spends $18,172 annually for an average of $5.30 per capita, " while the average Protestant church spends $7,584 per year for a $21.60 per capita outlay. Total spending breaks down as ·follows:

. PROJECT EQUALITY

Maintenance and repair work, other than major construction, gets 8.47 per cent of the budget. Printers get 8.21 per cent, publishers get 7.93 per cent; trans· portation expenses take 6.2 per cent and food takes 5.76 per cent. Candles and other ecclesiastical supplies account for 4.43 per cent of church spending. 4.05 per cent goes to office supplies; 3.82 per cent to insurance and financial services; 3.42 per cent goes to general merchandise. Project Equality officials noted that all of the Catholic churches in Massachusetts, 988 of the Protestant, Unitarian and Quaker churches and 140 synagogues are affiliated with the program. This means that more than

two·thirds of the state's houses of worship, .representing about 93 per cent of the Bay State's church·going population, are committed to purchasing goods 'and services from equal opportunity employers. Project·affiliated institutions send suppliers a commitment form pledging companies to an equal employment policy. The form also commits the company to file an annual report outlining the racial composition of its work force. When the report is filed, the company becomes eligible to be placed in the Project Equality buyers' guide. Church representatives in turn bUy from suppliers listed in the guide. Religious groups participating in the program also submit reports on their own hiring policies. So far, Project Equality has dealt with the day·to·day expenditures of religious groups. But officials indicated at the conclusion of the survey that the organization. plans to establish a new operation to deal with church holdings in bonds, stocks and trusts. Fall River Diocesan Director of Project Equality is Rev. John F. Hogan, pastor of St. Julie's Church, North Dartmouth, and Director of the Catholic Welfare Bureau of New Bedford. Assistant Diocesan Director is John M. Clements, Case Work Supervisor of the New Bedford Catholic Welfare Bur.eau.

brothers and sons of the Holy Church. We know of it, experience it daily. It is the object of our admiration, gratitude, trust and prayer:" Proof of Goodness The Pope concluded by saying: "We have experienced great goodness. We may say that we have had a new, sensible proof of it. We have felt rising from you, from the entire Church and from many other persons who are close to the Church, a choira great choir that cannot but fill us with emotion and consolation. "How many voices, how many voices in harmony are raised to rejoice with us in Christ's priesthood conferred on us and exercized by us for 50 years." In several recent talks Pope Paul has taken to task both priests and laity who criticize the role of priests and those who question the divine institution of the priesthood. He has also criticized those who question' the divine institution of the priesthood. He has also criticized priests who have. claimed t~at secular professions are more important than their own ministry. In May, the Pontiff told 279 he ordained in St. Peter's Square never to betray their priesthood. "Do not doubt your ministry," he told them. "Do not isolate

yourselves from your functions in the Holy Church. Never betray it."

Pope Asks More Help for Peru Quake Victims VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI, recalling to the world the "thousands upon thousands of the dead, of the injured, of the shelterless. of separated families" in earthquake-ravaged Peru, called for more help for the suffering there. "Everybody knows about these things and everybody is certainly pained at them," he told crowds gathered in St. Peter's Square for a Sunday blessing. "But the tendency is to think that Peru is so far away that there's nothing to be done," he continued. "Yet distances' practically do not exist today. Help can arrive from every part of the world." Pope Paul paid tribute to the work of Caritas Internationalis (the international Catholic charities organization) and U. S. Catholic Relief Services, the American Catholic aid agency. He said they "are working wonders of generous aid," perHe said he had made sonal contribution to the relief effort, but did not specify the amount. "But all that is still little," he concluded. Shortly after the quake, Catholic Relief Services announced that it was diverting 770,000 pounds of food and clothing aboard three ships in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to Peru for earthquake victims in the northern area of that country. Total Value Bishop Edward E. Swanstrom, executive director of the agency, announced in New York that the food, originally destined for neighboring countries to Peru, along with the clothing, are now being shipped to the port of Callao for further transport to Chimbote and other cities in the stricken area. Total value of the food and clothing is $444,000, Bishop Swanstrom estimated. Earlier, Catholic Relief Services had dispatched $35,000 worth of clothes, blankets and' medicines, flown to Peru by courtesy of Braniff International. The agency also made available $10,000 in cash for the purchase of available relief supplies in Peru,"

Discuss Merging ROTC PlJ'ogram ST. LOUIS (NC)-Officials oi Washington University and the Jesuit-run St. Louis University here have opened discussions with Pentagon officials aimed at merging the two schools' embattled Reserve Officer Training programs off-campus. Tentatively, St. Louis will run the joint Air Force ROTC program while Washington will administer the Army training program. Both schools have come under fire from students and faculty for maintaining their ROTC programs. The combined university council at St. Louis urged that the ROTC program there be discontinued in its present form and moved off the, school's campus. At Washington, two of the· school's three ROTC buildings were damaged by fire last month following student protests over the ROTC program. A federal grand jury indicted two university employees on charges' of sabotage and destruction of government property in connection with the fires.

Cone'erts to Aid Rebuilding Fund Of Cathedra! SAN JUAN (NC)-Pablo Casals, ranked as the world's foremost cellist, conducted the first in a series of concerts in 444year-old San Juan cathedral. The series has been arranged to accumulate a fund for restoration of the ancient edifice. Casals, who makes his home here with his Puerto Rican wife, is one of the leaders in the fund campaign. Archbishop Luis Aponte and Auxiliary BishoP Juan de Dios Lopez of San Juan presided at the concert, which was attended by government officials, professional and business men and members of the laity. Gov. Luis A. Ferre, a contributor to the fund, has agreed to play the piano at ~ later concert. It has been estimated that between $150,000 and $200,000 will be needed for the restoration work. The First National City Bank here contributed $25,000 and pledged another $25,000 for filming a documentary of the cathedral and of the concert series. The present cathedral is built over a major part of the original stone foundation which dates back to 1526. The first cathedral was bu'ilt under the direction of Bishop Alonso Manso. first bishop installed in the New World. Ponce de Leon who discovered Florida and was the first governor of Puerto Rico, is buried in the cathedral.

Authentic Voice During a' conference of representatives from all over the world of the Seventh Day Adventists, the president of the Church, Robert H. Pierson, said" "We live in a Christian world where too many great churches have jettisoned the inspired Word of God, the divinity of Christ, the Ten Commandments , and some other basics of the gospel in' favor of an appealing new morality and a sadly sterile secularism. Such a gospel has little to offer que~ting souls. ,

The end 'of such a course must be spiritual bankruptcy." This is an undeniably true statement. : Even within Catholicism some people are frightenedand with some reason---:as they read this or that theologian, challenging basic tenets of the faith or proposing a situational type morality. Perhaps these theolpgians are only putting forth trial statements in order to root more deeply into the faith but the ordinary person in the pew does not know this is a theological technique; he believes that i~ is a real challenge to truth or a questioning of faith. It may be that the, theologian is only aiming' his at~ack at a theological system and not at the creed. But-once again+the subtlety of this is lost on many persons and they feel', that dogma itself is being questioned. Or it may be th~t a .theologian is trying to express the nuances of a difficult moral situation and is attempting to weigh these with, all their implications, but to the man on the' street it sounqs like the overthrow -of the commandments.

Seemingly, the only ones that would suffer a lack of prestige and notoriety if the system were abolished would be the character type of what we consider as the "professional politician." The convention system as we know it does not accomplish what it sets out to do, the selection of candidates for election. It can not, do this because it is r~ally not a democratic process. In theory, it looks good on paper; in fact, it does not work in today's world of knowing and thinking voters. Convention delegates do not represent the p~rty voter. The primary election is the true spokesman of the party member. This is the only valid form of party endorsement. In this light there is no need for a, preprimary convention.

Rejects Young Voters !Reform Efforts

Continued from Page One Some critics, she pointed out, have contended' the programs have placed stronger emphasis on politics than religion. "This historical build-up of politicalized religious programming has paralleled the build-up of the various 'revolutions' within the churches and within American society. And the religious shows have not merely gone into political coverage, they have provided a major forum on the air waves for social reformers of every stripe, and for revolutionaries' both lay and clerical," wrote Miss Efron. This push on activism, especially among Protestant denominations, has created internal church conflicts and has resulted in reduced contributions and interest, she noted. Some of the more moderate arid conservative groups have protested against the emphasis on activism in TV programming.

Continued from Page One safeguard the principle of Chris-' tian education and relieve par.ishes of impossible burdens. The kernel of the education crisis was described as essentially a personnel problem. Religious are in shorter supply and lay teachers' salaries cannot be borne by already taxed parishes. Three possihle reactions could be to curtail certain grades in each school (which would only postpone the inevitable); consolidate existing schools to obtain larger, more efficient and cheaper to operate plants; shared time programs. The Diocesan Pastoral Council seconded ,the Superintendent's choice of the second alternative in that a Catholic Education would still be available as a legitimate pastoral apostolate. There was some fear expressed that many parishes, burdened by, the cost of parochial education, had put off possible target dates for closing in the hope of some favorable response of aid by the state. However, since that door is now closed, many schools . could possibly close at the end of the next school year. There could be路 widespread confusion and Catholic Education would suffer. . The Pastoral Council, realizing there were no simple or "nice" solutions, authorized the Diocesan' Board of Education to proceed to inform individual parishes and pastors of the necessity ,of merging their facilities for the good of Catholic Education in general. The Pastoral Council" also reviewed the rather, complicated arrangements for recent due process proposals, as 路was approved by the Bishop for the Fall River, Diocese at the urging 'of the Priests' Senate.

Aver S.olidarity With Catholics On Brazil NEW YORK (NC) - Officials of the National Council of Churches' Latin America department announced sol1darity here with an earlier Catholic-sponsored statement condemning growing use of torture to suppress political dissent in Brazil. In a preface that outlined the complex U. S. involvement in Latin America the statement pointed. out that Brazil is the third largest recipient of U. S. aid in the world, that sOme 600 U. S. i"ndustries operate in Brazil, and that almost 3,000 American Protestant and Catholic missionaries work in the vast country. Despite this involvement, the statement charged, the people of the United States have been blind to the "cries of oppressed people" in Brazil. These cries, the statement added, "must not be ignored and especially not when these cries come from people whose lives are affected by the policies of public and private institutions in our own country." Commenting that the Brazilian government has frequently denied torture reports, the statement countered that "the reports have been too numerous, too widely documented and recognized by too many reliable sources to be discounted." Then, in a position statement, council officials declared solidarity with a statement issued May 26 by the International Affairs Committee of the U. S. Catholic Conference. Urge Sanctions The Catholic statement condemned the use of torture by anyone and urged both political and spiritual sanctions against government officials responsible for the torturing of prisoners, especially priests, nuns and others engaged in social welfare activities. I Outlining its own position, the council's Latin America department condemned the use of torture under any circumstances; called for a congressional hearing to determine official U. S. response to the torture reports; urged a joint investigation in the Brazil situation by the Vatican and the World Council of Churches and asked for, another investigation by the human rights commissions of the United Nations and the Organization of American States. "We take note of the fact," the statement said, "that reports. of political repression are coming from a country which is currently experiencing a period of rapid industrial growth stimulated by the direct investments of major North American and Western European corporations."

Warns .Parents of Rock Music-prugs 'link 'Dangerouso. lyrics Ulustrate Point ST. PAUL (NC) - A former jazz trumpeter and drug user warned parents here that much of today's rock music is being used to push drugs and "to foster revolution at home." Joseph R. Crow, a 15-year veteran of the Stan Kenton band circuit, gave parents of the Bloomington-Richfield Committee of the Movement to Restore Decency copies of a 12-page booklet of songs with "dangerous" lyrics to illustrate his' point. According to Crow, songs like

the Beatles'. "Hey Jude" praise the wonders of "horse," slang for heroin. He condemned other hit songs for the same reason, and warned that rock music was part of complex .culture that communists are trying to control. The charge that songs like the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "Yellow Submarine," Donovan's "Mellow Yellow'" and Peter, .Paul and Mary's "Puff, the Magic Dragon" are drug-oriented is common. In fact, he said the government of Sing-

apore rescently banned "Puff" because of its narcotic overtones. Parents' Example But songster Peter Yarrow has made a point of telling concert audiences that '''Puff' is a song about a little boy and a dragon. When I write a song about marijuana, I'll tell you." In Chicago, psychiatrist W. Walter Menninger did not mention hard rock music, but did say that the drug abuse problem in the United States is worse than everyone thinks.

ROME (NC)-The Church can no longer afford to maintain an old "illusion" ~hat priest shortages ·in mission areas will improve. Therefore it must examine the new role to be played by the catechist. . This comment was made to the NC News Service by Bishop Jan Vim Cauwelaert, a consultor 'On the Congregation for the Evangelization of People, which has appointed him head of a temporary Gornmission to study the problems of catechists. In liaison 'with episcopal conferences and pa,storal centers the commission will act as a clearing house for information on the problems of catechists in regions which seek aid. Devaluated The study is expected to take four years, said Bishop Van Cauwelaert, he added that the role of the catechist, first held in high esteem, has been "devaluated" in recent years. "We lived under the illusion for a while that our seminaries would eventually produce enough priests for the mission field," said the bishop, who spent 25 years in the African missions and is now rector of the College of the Immaculate Heart of Mary .(Scheut Missionaries) here. He said the commission will not only study how the catechist can be trained but wh~t function he must be trained for, since his role must change in a Church that has fewer priests. Lay Ministry "The question comes down to the whole ministry of lay people within the Church," he said. Pointing out that in Africa many communities are virtually without a priest, he said: "The priestly ministry as it now stands is not enough." Noting that there are areas in Africa where a priest may come only once or twice a year, the bishop said it is apparent that priest and catechist must exchange duties. In the early missions, it was the, catechist who assisted the priest, the bishop said, but a priest' who rr.akes rare appearances should think of himself as assisting the resident catechist.

NEW YORK (NC) - Funds were earmarked. by the municipal hospital syst.em here to make possible the performance of 25,000 to 30,000 abortions a year on city residents, fully implementing New York's liberalized abortion law which takes effect July I. Because of the, appropriation Dr. Robert E. Hall, president of the Association for the Study of Abortion and Obstetrics at Columbia University, predicts that "for the first time in history, the poor and the poorly-educated may have easier access to legal hospital abortions than the middle classes." An extensive education program is being planned to inform ,the poor that this medicalservice will be available to them, if they need it, he said. Perhaps the greatest obstacle abortion patients are likely to encounter is the reluctance of many' obstetricians to perform abortions of any sort, let alone abortions on request. "You have to realize," said one leading New York obstetrician who, has guided preparations for the new law, "that obstetricians by training and practice are geared to bringing new life into the world, not destroying it. For many of us, religious objections notwithstanding, abortions simply go against our grain." He cited experiences of the otlier states with more flexible abortion laws which he said indicate that only a 'minority of qualified physicians are willing to' participate. In Maryland, for example, only 20 per cent of the state's obstetricians had performed any abortions during the first year under a reformed abortion law.

THE ANCHOR-

Suggests Using Coordinated Look for Summer Cl'othes

Thllrs., June 18, 1970

C'oils for Peace

Prayer Crusade

No matter whether you call it the "put-together look," the coordinated look, or the matched look, if you use this theme for your Summer wardrobe you'll end up with a great deal more to look at in your pocketbook. I'm sure you've had seasons when that I call Joseph's coat because you end up buying a great of its many colors) also has this deal of one color or another. red shade in. I plan now to keep This happened to me just the rest of my Summer purrecently and I was quite unaware of it at first until I realized that suddenly I had quite a few outfits that I could change and interchange.

Navy blue, white and tomato red were the colors that suddenly seemed to become important in my Spring and Summer wardrobe. It started out last January when the resort wear appeared on the scene and I picked up a cotton (and something or other) knit that had a skirt and an overblouse (that tied). This outfit was in red tones, and was one of those designs that you could wear any season. Next I found myself making a striped knit skirt that again had stripes in it of navy, white and that same orangey red. Lo and behold I could wear this skirt with the tunic of the dress. ,l\'Hx-and-Match For Mother's Day I received a striking printed culotte skirt, again in the same tones, navy and tomato red on a white background, a white blouse, trimmed with the navy and a handsome navy cardigan. My original outfit had some more friends. My last purchase was a pair of knitted slacks that are in the red shade and while they are of a different knit than the tunic top one would have to look closely to take note of this and they truly look like a matching pant outfit. Even some of my last year's clothes have turned out to have these colors in them so they too could join the mix-and-match parade. One dress that I had made last year, again in the orangey red shade, can be paired . up with the slacks for a hostess look and I even noted that my favorite Summer jacket (the one

Urges Teaching Religion Without Indoctrination CHICAGO (NC)-Teaching religion "minus indoctrination" in public schools today upholds the current framework of churchstate relations, according to a professor here. Teaching religion this way, however, may involve re-education of religious educators, according to Dr. Sholom S. Singer, associate professor of history at DePaul University. In an article in the July-August issue of The Journal of Religious Education, Dr. Singer cautioned teachers against overlooking "much that is worthwhile spiritually and religiously but which passes as secular." There is a "happy medium, a mid-point where both the liberal religious and the liberal secular schools and viewpoints can meet," he said.

LOS ANGELES (NC) - Archbishop Timothy Manning of Los Angeles. in a call to prayer for peace, deplored the roadblock that "has divided our people into polarized. and sometimes violent positions." "Our young men are bewildered; some about the justification for present wars, others about the refusal to engage in those same conflicts," he said. "We may not. aggravate the crisis by holding to exclusive positions of condemnation or approval. For these compelling reasons we beg for prayer, pray路 er for peace." The archbishop continued: "We pray then for 'peace in our day'. We ask that, as often as deemed opportune, our invocations in the Prayer of the Faithful and in other devotions include petitions for armed forces, for our prisoners of war, for civilian victims of war's aftermath, for our enemies, and for all diplomats engaged in pursuit of peace. "In union with our Holy Father, we ask this, through Christ Our Lord."

chases in the same color family, thus providing a few more looks. On Small Allowance Some reasons why keeping your wardrobe basically down to just a few color choices is smart: accessories can be' kept down to a minimum, you can get many different looks for a reasonable amount of money, and if you're planning on any kind of a trip your packing will be much easier. With money so tight the housewife has got to look for more and. more ways to be fairly well-dressed on as small a clothing allowance as possible and it does seem to me that this could be one. Now this doesn't mean that if you have a special occasion to go to and the dress you find doesn't blend in with this set color scheme that you should refrain from purchasing it. If it's your kind of dress and it looks like you (and you can afford it) go ahead and buy it. Everyone needs a bit of change in life. Prescribed Formula What it does mean is that in soortswear, especially, you'll find that you can buy fewer things yet have more changes if you stick to a prescribed color formula. This type of clothing lends itself best to separates and this is where it functions best. This season I stumbled into a coordinated wardrobe but next season I really intend to use it as a plan. I well remember back to the days when (this was during my college years and the first two years that I taught sort of PB pre-marriage) I would sit down and each season review what I owned, and from there go on to what I needed, just like working out a recipe. Now when this planning is truly needed, budget-wise, I find myself too busy to plan and thus more prone to impulse buying. Our deep recession is forcing me to take a second look at my buying habits and perhaps it will be for the better in the longrun.

Ghett,o Facility Abandoned Catholic School to Become Community Center PHILADELPHIA (NC) A proposed ghetto community cen路 ter for 25,000 North-Central residents here became a reality when one of the nation's oldest Catholic laymen's clubs was given an abandoned Catholic school for such use. The remaining necessity for the center planned by the Catholic Philopatrian Literary Institute is $500,000, to be raised by volunteers for rehabilitation of the

old school and operational costs for three years. The . project was announced when Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia handed over the deed to the'defunct St. Andrew's School at the institute's 120th anniversary luncheon here. The community center will be designed to provide free mediical, educational, day care and recreational facilities.

his could well· be the most important news you've heard in years! Now.You may enjoy a special low-cost health protection plan. that pays "extra cash" direct to you when unexpected sickness or accident. hospitalizes you or a member of your family! Mutual Protective Insurance Company, specializing in health insurance for Catholics for 40 years, has created a brandnew health plan especially for Catholics like yourself-the HOSPITAL PLAN FOR CATHOLICS,

"Try" This Plan For Only $1

You can actually "try" the plan under a special no strings "introductory" offer: . For only $1.00, you can enroll yourself and all eligible memoers of your familywithout having to see a company representative and without any red tape whatsoever -during this limited enrollment period. And, after you receive your policy, if for any reason you decide you don't want it, you may return it within 10 days and your dollar will be promptly refunded! Why You Need The Hospital Plan For Catholics In Addition To Ordinary Health Insuran'ce

Because no matter. what other insurance you now carry, it simply won't cover everything! Think for a moment-in these days of rising medical costs, would your present insurance cover all your hospital bills? All your surgical and in-hospital doctor's bills? All the medicines, drugs, supplies and the many other extras? Probably not And even if all your medical and hospital bills were covered, what about all your other expenses-the bills that keep piling up at home-the tremendous and costly upset to your budget, your reserves and your family life?

If you, as husband, father and breadwinner are suddenly hospitalized, your income stops, your expenses go up. Even if you have some kind of "salary insurance" it probably won't come' close to replacing your full-time pay. If your wife is suddenly hospitalized, who will 190k after the family, do the laundry, the marketing, the cleaning? You may have to take time off from your job:""or hire domestic help. If one of your children is hospitalized, you'll certainly spare no expense, If you're a senior citizen, with limited reserves, and are hospitalized, even with Medicare, where will the "extra" money you need come ffl,)m? . .Without any extra cash protection in case of a hospital emergency, debts may be incurred, savings may be lost, peace of mind may be shattered-and even recovery can be seriously delayed. How The Plan Pr6tects You AlJd . Your Family

Now, with the unique protection of the Hospital Plan for Catholics you can avoid these worries-because you can be assured of extra cash income when you or any covered family member goes to the hospitalto help keep you out of debt, to help keep your savings intact, to speed recovery by easing your worried mind! Nomatter how large your family, no mailer what your age or occupation and without any other qualifications whatsoever, you can choose any. of the four low-cost plans shown at right In addition to the important cash benefits, you get all these valuable "extra" features: ' Your "Health-Bank Account"

Here's a wonderful benefit, no matter which plan you choose, almost like an extra "Bank Account."

Praises °Study of ~SpanishIlDSurnamed' Schmidt Shows Genuine Compassion for People I

A few months ago, while browsing in one of Washington's leading bookstores, I was forcibly struck by the fact that, in the section devoted to racial problems in the United States, the number of books dealing with the so-called Spanishspeaking or Spanish-surnamed minority. I would estimate offhand that the ratio was somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 to 1.

By MSGR. GEORGE G. HIGGINS Subsequently ,I made a spot check of a number of other bookstores in a half dozen major cities, including two cities in areas where there is a heavy concentration' of Spanish-speak'ing citizens, and came up with pretty much the same statistics. It might be argued, of course, that, this striking disproportion in the amount of attention being paid to the problems of our t'-"\'o largest minorities is perfectly natural in view of the fact' that the plight of the blacks is so much worse than that of the Spanish-speaking, and that white racism is directed almost exclusively at blacks and only inci-' dentally affects the Spanishspeaking. Colonial Attitudes This argument is flatly rejected, however, by Fred H. Schmidt in a recent study, "Spanish Surnamed American Employment in the Southwest," prepared for the Colorado Civil Rights Commission under the auspices of the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 20402, $2 per copy.) Professor Schmidt; who teaches at the Institute of Industrial Relations, University of California, Los Angeles, says that the reason Spanish-surnamed Americans have received scant attention in national affairs and are regarded as a regional phenomenon, rather than a national one, is due partly to "the one-sided treatment given the Southwest by U. S. historians. " Developing this point in greater detail, he argues that "the place of Spanish' surnames in the Southwest cannot be under'stood without a knowledge of how that- region came to be joined to the nation and the colonial' attitudes that prevailed there toward all racial lind eth~ nie- minorities thereafter." Incidentally, Pro f e s s 0 r Schmidt's attempt to supply his readers with this knowledge, in ,capsule form, is in itself worth the price of his entire study. Job Caste .'.

Professor Schmidt doesn't maintain, nor do I, that the Spanish-speaking or Spanishsurnamed citizens of the United States, because of the colonial attitudes still prevailing in 'the Soutwest, are 'Worse off than their black fellow citizens. His statistical evidence" carefully graphed and ch.?rted by counties and by types of occupa-

tion, does seem to suggest, however, that the plight of the Spanish-surnamed minority in th~ United States is, in every majQr respect, just about as bad as that of the black minority. , "Their share of available jobs," he said, "descends steeply once the line separating whitecollar from blue-collar jobs is crossed. There is evidence of Ii job caste that walls off white-. collar jobs from minority workers, and this wall is stouter, against Spanish surnames in areas where their numbers in the population are proportionately greater, as it is for Negroes in those areas where they are a' more prominent part' of the population." I, It takes Professor Schmidt a total of 247 pages to spell out ih detail precisely how and why ,the Spanish-speaking are being discriminated against in th'e areas ,of employment opportunities.

commuting of workers from Mexico. He points out that no other region in the United States has to contend with these problems on a similar scale and that no other group in the population is placed in the same continuing competition with the poverty of another nation. , 3) Professor Schmidt takes issue with "the conclusion of so many observers * * * that trade unions by their very nature must serve only their present memberships." ' Tribute to Taylor

He readily grants that this is true of some unions-but only of some. For his own part, he maintains, on the basis of all the available evidence, that the ,pattern of minority employment is better among employers who have arrangements with labor unions that affect to some extent whom they may hire than it is among those wh,:> do not have Racism Woven In such arrangements.

But time has passed and: we are running out of first communicants. We even have several in the "in between" stage. One of the boys explained it to me. "Seventh grade is the crummy year.

History Explains American Involvement in Vietnam

The case against American involvement in Vietnam is often put in a simple set of proposit.ions: one, America is imperialist; two, America is in Vietnam to defend its interests and profits; three, the solution is an American withdrawal. But the situa~ South. This success was more tion is not so simple. America remarked upon than the fact was not drawn into South- that the whole focus of Korean east Asia in direct defense patriotism and post-colonial of its local, economic interests. There are none. Its involvement began with the belief that Communist power had to be "contained." Otherwise, all Asia, it was argued, would be drawn into a hostile, expansive and increasingly powerful Communist world coalition.

By BARBARA WARD

With the hindsight of 1970, it is easy, perhaps, to see what was right and wh~t was wrong about this doctrine of containment. It has a long and not disreputable· history. The British tried for hundreds of years to "contain" any single overwhelming power in Europe, from Louis XIV to Hitler. It made Europe a cockpit of war. But it did prevent the conquest of its peoples. In 1919, it could be argued that America's precipitate withdrawal into isolationism made it certain that no one European power would be strong enough to contain a resurgent Germany, and so, in another two decades, the "German" war had to be fought all over again. Sino-Soviet Bloc In 1945, the tendency in America was to repeat this risk. Massive demobilization went ahead. The armed forces were cut back. Arms spending was not a fifth of what it is today. But in 1948, two things happened. Stalin blockaded West Berlin and threw out the freelyelected government in Czechoslovakia, murdering Jan Masaryk in the process. The Russians may simply have been reacting to their picture of massive Western hostility. After all, they had just survived a desperate invasion. I n any case, Stalin's habit was to see enemies in every direction at home or abroad. . But, like all paranoids, he created the enemies he feared. The events of 1948 convinced a not very eager America that isolation would leave the world to the Russians and this was felt to be the equivalent of letting Communism spread. In 1949, the Chinese Communists won their civil. war and for about 10 years, their grievances against Russia for taking and not returning Chinese border lands were less apparent than the two nations' cooperation. Talk of a "Sino-Soviet bloc, image of Communist world dominion, was not discouraged by such promises as Mr. Khrushchev's: "We will bury you." "Containment" became official policy. Ignore Facts In 1950, it was tried for the first time in Asia. When North Korea invaded South Korea, America at the head of a U.N. force, helped to preserve a non"'ommunist government in the

pride was centered on the South, on Syngman Rhee, the veteran nationalist leader. It was also forgotten that the Americans had soundly beaten the only colonial power ever to oppress the Koreans. That pow· er was, of course, Japan. No one could suppose that America was trying to reinstate colonial control when its victory alone had destroyed it. These facts of recent history are usually ignored in the debate about Vietnam. Indeed, the total ignorance of history displayed by many critics can be as frightening as the blind trust in force often betrayed by more conventional citizens. Yet history alone explains why America became involved in Vietnam. It also explains why the involvement has become a disaster. Korea Precedent . It is not wrong or foolish to try to limit - in other words, "contain"-a power as large, irrational, confused, scared, yet aggressive as the Soviet Union. To give one example only,· America's presence in Europe is probably the only sure safeguard the Jugaslovs can count on to spare them the tragic and ignominious fate of the Czechs. But Europe is not Southeast Asia. The Vietnam calculation has gone· wrong precisely because it does not resemble the only successful Asian· precedent of containment-Korea. . In Vietnam, America came in on the heels of the colonialist French and could be tarred with the same brush. In Vietnam, the center of national resistance and patriotism was in the North, in the person of Ho-Chi-Minh. In the South, French interests have persisted to this day. It is only i.n the last six months that peasants have been offered the only sure route to anticommunism-ownership of their own land. Continue Struggle In short, America has appeared imperialist because it could be identified with the old French colonial regime. The incredible readiness of the North to take almost every punishment modern technology can invent springs from nationalism and their sense of a continuing anticolonial struggle. . One fine irony: during the course of the Vietnamese disaster, Russia and China fell violently apart. The quarrels over land and frontiers erupted into remarkable bitterness. But America, pinned down in a mistaken struggle, could act only in such a way as to provide both Communist great powers with one common theme - support for North Vietnam. . The problem is thus not to brand America as an imperialist but to retreat, without disaster, from a tragic mistake.

Bishops Back Family Assistance Plan Legislation Gives Guarante·ed Income to Poor WASHINGTON (NC) - The U. S. bishops have added their support to welfare reform .legislation by urging Congress to enact a family assistance program: Passage of such legislation, now pending in the Senate,· would in effect establish a guaranteed income for the nation's poor. The bishops took the stand in a resolution they adopted at their recent semiannual meeting in San Francisco. Copies of the resolution were released here. The bishops urged "prompt enactment of the Family Assistance Act or some similar family assistance program." They also urged, however, "that the minimum dollar amount of $1600 for a family of four be substantially . raised." The bishops criticized the present welfare system; including the Aid for Families with Dependent Children program. It has "proven wholly inadequate to provide either a decent standard of living or incentive to the 'beneficiary' families, " the resolution said. It called the system "in . many cases counterproductive and destructive of family life." Minimum Benefit Their resolution urged "strong . and clear federal guidelines, to assure equitable administration" of the Family Assistance program. It said that if employment by the head of a household is required for a family to benefit under the act, "it is important that such employment be truly suitable." The bishops resolution is the latest in an increasing chain of support for family assistance legislation from various religious groups. The legislation would provide for the first time a federal minimum benefit for all needy families with children. The bill pro-

vides for an annual rate of $500 for each of the first two members of the family, and $300 for each additional member, or $1600 for a family of four. The father of the family would no longer need to be absent for the family. to qualify-a stipulation which some states put on the present program and which, its critics say, encourages desertion. Instead, the head of· the family would register for employment or training for employment to qualify. This means that the "working poor" would be helped, increasing the role of eligible beneficiaries by some 13 million. Educate Pubilc Among religious. bodies supporting the legislation, which has passed the U. S. House of Representatives, is the Interreligious Committee of General Secretaries. It includes Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin, general secretary of the U. S. Catholic Conference; the Rev. Dr. R.H. Edwin Espy, .and Rabbi Henry Siegman, ex-.

ecutive vice president of the Synagogue Council of America. The three religious leaders wrote a joint letter to every Congressman, urging support of the bill, shortly b.efore the successful vote. The Interreligious Committee, along with the American Jewish Committee, has also formed an Interfaith Communications Committee on Poverty, which will approach various media and urge them / to educate the public on various aspects of welfare reform.

Says Society ·Needs Drastic Overhaul, Genuine Renewal

NEW ORLEANS (NC) - The question was whether it would be feasible to operate a totally religious-oriented television or radio station. Program directors of New Orleans' three competing network affiliates ran head-on into a lively dispute among themselves and with members of the 1970 session of the National Institute for Religious Communications being held here at Loyola

Has the United States seen its best days, and is it now in decline? This question engages the attention of John W. Gardner, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare in the Johnson administration, in his new book, The Recovery of Confidence Mr. Gardner is hard on the (Norton, 55 Fifth Ave., N.Y. fashionable alienated posture 10003. $5).

Despite the fashionableness of pessimism, Mr. Gardner believes that there is reason for hope. But it depends on our society's holding to a common vision and working together toward 'its realization.

Leaders of the discussion were Rupert Copponex of station WWL, a CBS affiliate; Jerry Romig of WDSU of NBC, and Zvi Schubin of WVUE of ABC. The three started off by describing facilities, programming and other operations of their respective stations at the 25-day . institute co-sponsored by the university's communications department and by the Department of Communications, U. S. Catholic Conference. The session was thrown open to questions from among the 50 participants and the query about the -feasibility of a religious oriented station was asked. 'Becomes Ponderous'. "I don't feel that such an operation could exist under current federal regulations," said Romig. "This is because of the .fairness doctrine and a responsibility to give. equal time 'to all religions." Schubin cited the operation of a Mormon-owned station in Salt Lake City (KSL) as an example. "They program far .more religious broadcasts than other sta-

tions because they feel they are best serving the, community in this' fashion. But they realize .that there must be more than religion provided to the outside person with other interests," he said. "Too much of anyone thing becomes ponderous," added Schubin. "What is needed is a blend rather than a mixture." Today's Medium Romig was asked what can and· should be done about increasing and improving religious programs on the air. Referring to the Catholic Church and the effect of last year's .institute, he said: "The Church has to make up its mind, has to realize that broadcasting is the medium today. It is no longer the print medium. "The Catholic Church has to stop and look at how many dollars it is putting into newspapers.' The diocesan papers can take some of that money and divert it for broadcasting. Hire a professional broadcaster and a staff with at least one camera· man. Let them go out and do the things that the ',pros can do." Romig added: "Commercial stations can't donate the time of their personnel to work with the Church. They would like to, but they just don't have the time. Broadcasters are ready to help the Church when possible, if the Church will help itself."

THE ANCHORThurs.• June 18. 1970

By Proponents of "zero population growth" wouldn't get far in Uganda. That's the word from Rev. Hippolytus Omodoi, who says that in his African horrie diocese of Tororo, a man with a dozen children is considered singularly fortunate, while the man with none is pitied. . "There's plenty of room for all and the problem of birth control doesn't exist," said the tall thin priest, who visited Fall River last week as the guest of Dr. and Mrs. William Boudreau of Notre Dame parish. Mrs. Boudreau explained that she has for many years aided African seminarians through the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. "But so many of 'my' students didn't persist until ordination,'~ she chuckled, "that finally I asked the Propagation to assign me a boy who'd reach his' goal." The boy was Father Amodoi, now 10 years ordained, who has kept in touch with the Boudreaus through the years. When they learned he was coming to the United States for higher studies they were delighted and lost no time in arranging his visit to Fall River from Spalding College in :Louisville, where he's working concurrently for a bachelor's degree in history and a master's in education. Bishops Met Why Louisville? Father Omodoi said his bishop met Bishop Thomas J. McDonough of the Kentucky See at the second Vatican Council, and an arrangement was made to send African priests to Louisville to further their education. Father Omodoi is living in an almost completely black Louisville parish. He said his coming created a minor sensation among parish youngsters. "When they knew I was from Africa, they

Profanity Ban Reopens Min~s

THE ANCHORThurs., June 18, 1970

Symposium Cites Social Mission

PIITSBURGH (NC) - From now on the air won't be turned blue by strong language among miners and bosses in the western Pennsylvania coal mines operated by the Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp. The new rule, applicable to botti- miners and supervisory personnel, is the use of profane language not be tolerated. The new rule ended an II-day work stoppage which sllut down four mines and had the steel company on the verge of going into federal court seeking an injunction to end the shut down. The trouble started when a mine foreman used profanity in giving a work assignment to a miner. One word led to another and 'in short order the four mines were idled. The steel company and Local 762 of the United Mine Workers reached the "no more cussin" agreement. Both union and managemen't posted notices on bulletin boards regarding future use of proper language. The steel company notice added: "This reaffirms long-standing mine policy."

Of Chtarch MARRIOITSVILLE (NC)While the Church has a' social mission which is an integral part of her purpose on earth, she must resist the temptation to try to be "all things to all men." This was among the points brought out by 25 theologians, sociologists and urban affairs specialists at Bon Secours Provincial House here in Maryland in an attempt to clarify Christian presence and responsibility 'in the modern metropolis. The three-day symposium was held under the auspices of the Catholic Theological Society of America. It was co-sponsored by the U. S. Catholic Conference Task Force on Urban Problems and the social theology department of the Center for Applied ResearcH in the Apostolate. Eight participants prepared papers on various aspects of church invlovement in the metropolis for discussion at the symposium. The papers will soon be published in book form with copyrights ceded to the Catholic Theological Society.

Cesar Chavez Says Farm Workers look to Churches for Support DELANO (NC)-Farm worker leader Cesar Chavez praised more han 250 religious and lay leaders meeting here for "practical help religious groups have given" in solving disputes between farm workers and growers. ' However, Chavez, head of the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee, AFL-CIO, warned that churches must do more to solve those disputes and in their teaching of social justice, if they are to keep. workers believing in them. He spoke to leaders who came from throughout the nation to discuss the status of the fiveyear-old grape strike and boycott. The meeting was held under the auspices of the California Migrant Ministry, the Franciscan Province of Santa Barbara and the California Board of Rabbis. Asks Activist Clergy "The clergy do not realize their powers," Chavez said. "Signing their name to a statement of support is' not enough. It doesn't count among the workers. Only an activist clergy can have influence in the social message of the gospels. "While the clergy have power, they also have fear. It is this fear which leads to their intimidation by the enemies of the farm workers. This fear leads many churchmen to say less about the terrible conditions under which, many of our people live. It is not only a question of fear over the farm union problem. There are also the prob· lems in the church itself, and the civic community." Chavez said a large measure of the success of the recent contracts with growers in, the Coachella and Sanjoaquin valleys, was due to the mediation efforts of the U. S. Catholic Bishops Committee. Opposes Violence "But it wasn'f always like that," Chavez said. "In the five years of the struggle since the strike began, the church-even our own - has stood aside or supported the growers against the workers. And if it wasn't for the migrant industry under the leadership of Rev. Chris Hartmire of Los Angeles, the strike would have failed long ago. The union would have been def~ated."

Chavez reiterated his opposition to, violence and said that his union seeks only peaceful means to obtain contracts with the growers. "But if the growers won't listen to us," Chavez said, "I can not guarantee peace. The' workers are seeking justice, so long denied to them. The workers look to the church for both. moral and active support in the

Reject P'roposal To Oust Foreigners GENEVA (NC)-Swiss voters rejected a proposal that would have had the effect of ousting a third of the more than one million foreigners living in this country. The all-male Swiss electorate voted on 'll proposal that would have had the force of a constitutional amendment, requiring the government to reduce the number of resident foreigners by at least 300,000 over the next four years. There are now 1.1 million foreigners :0. a total Swiss population of 6.3 million persons. One-third of Switzerland's industrial workers are foreigners.

struggle. If all reasonable means fail, the workers will more particularly blame the church for not doing enough in using its influence. "Many people think we hav~ won, but in truth we are just beginning. Most grape growers still 'haven't signed contracts; and there are hundreds of thousands of rural poor people in our country who need the dignity and security of an organization of their own. We intend to reach them," Chavez said.

Bar Association Hits Crime Bill CHICAGO (NC)-Members of the American Bar Association's council on criminal law criticized provisions of the administrationbacked District" of Columbia crime bill and the national organized crime bill after a 20hQur meeting here. Council members criticized the D. C. bill's provisions for preventive detention of suspects, for requiring the defendant to bear the burden of proof in in· sanity cases and a requirement that the plaintiff pay police costs even in successful false arrest suits. A provision allowing grand juries to critieize public officials even when proof to indict them was lacking was one of the elements of the national crime bill rejected by the ABA council. In a separate action, the board of trustees of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency rejected the D. C. crime bill's preventive detention provision as "possibly unconstitutional." The trustees urged instead that steps be taken to sp~ed up the court sy'stem so a defendant can be tried immediately after arrest and "if found guilty of serious crimes, incarcerated." . A group of former federal prosecutors in the District of Columbia., among them the city's former corporation counsel, also condemned the House version of the omnibus crime bill. Emphasizing their continued commitment to effective law enforcement, the former prosecutors stated that the bill's mandatory sentencing provisions are contrary to current trends in penology, deprive trial judges of ~sential discretion and discour. age guilty pleas.

Cites Responsibility. Of Mass Media CHICAGO (NC) - Chicago's Cardinal John Cody called on newsmen, editors, photographers and other representatives of the communications media to be "brave and honest bridegbuilders" in reporting the world to young people. Speaking at 'a Mass marking the fourth annual World Day of Social Communications, the cardinal emphasized that journalists often must explain the world to young people while explaining young people to the world.. "Each of you exerts an influence," he said, "whether by community paper, metropolitan press, local radio or network television, books or films, art work or public relations. As you struggle for the attention of your audience, be mindful of your total responsibility. "To the very young, you stand alongside parent and educator shaping them for the future. To their older brothers and sisters, you stand often as interpreter of the world and its values. To their parents, you stand as one . who reports on youth."

John McGa"y of Raynham,

Concludes Brilliant Career As Corsair Half·Mi~er By Luke Sims Graduation bells give Bob Dowd a headache. As track coach at Southeastern Massachusetts University, "chime-time blues" rings its sad, refrain every June. This month is no exception. When the Dartmouth-based college held its annual commencement ceremonies recently, John McGarry of Raynham was among the long list of graduating seniors. If Coach Dowd shed a tear or two, it went unnoticed. But the eyeballs surely must have been momentarily emersed as he watched McGarry accept his degree. To Dowd the loss of McGarry was a "point" of prime concern * ':' * in fact, five points JOHN McGARRY of concern. The Raynham resident was one of the leading runners that helped pace the Corsairs' track team to a winning season this past year.

Notre Dame Head B~cks Peace Plea NEW YORK (NC) - Notre Dame University president Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, C. S.C., told a Plaza notel audience here that he felt compelled to take a stand with youth who want to "give peace a chance." Speaking at the annual Appeal of Conscience Foundation award dinner,' Father Hesburgh said that the older generation should not be disturbed by youthful incidentals like long hair. "I don't care whether their hair is long or short, becll.use their voice is pure," he added. Father Hesburgh told dinner guests that "the conscience of America today is coming from its youth" and pointed out that young people had seen their leaders-Pres. John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King .Jr.-killed, but still retained their idealism.
